How do they work? Are they just difficult to write quantum algorithms for or is there some fundamental mathematics involved that stops a quantum computer enumerating the solutions?
- contravariant 9y agoTo the best of my knowledge there's not even any known mathematical theorem that would prevent such algorithms on regular computers. I don't see how this would be any different for quantum computers.
- gizmo686 9y agoThat is correct. Any proof that digital signatures are secure on classical computers would imply P != NP. Further, it is known that BQP (bounded error quantum polynomial time. The quantum computer equivalent of P) is contained in PSPACE. However P=PSPACE is still an open question. This means that we still do not have any theoretical proof that quantum computers are more powerful that classical computers.
